Background

Xiao Xiao was born into the Xiao Family of Wutan City in Gama Province, Dou Ling Empire. After awakening Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Martial Souls, she became the family's future hope; rival families feared that her growth would destroy the local balance of power. The Nalan, Jia Lie, Ao Ba, and other families responded with resource blockades, false accusations, and an assassination plot. 18

At six years old, Xiao Xiao entered the Star Dou Forest with Xiao Yun to find her first Soul Ring. Five assassins—one Soul Sage and four Soul Emperors—ambushed them. Xiao Yun threw Xiao Xiao into the forest and burned her blood essence to imprison the pursuers, giving the child time to flee. 18 19

Xiao Xiao escaped despite injuries and terror, then encountered Lu Yuan and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. Scarlet King killed the pursuing assassins, but Xiao Yun had already died from protecting her. Xiao Xiao grieved beside her guardian's body before accepting Lu Yuan's shelter at the Lake of Life. 19 20

After learning of her Twin Martial Souls, Di Tian chose to cultivate her as a future powerhouse for the soul beasts. Lu Yuan persuaded Xiao Xiao to join the Avengers Alliance by appealing to her wish to avenge Xiao Yun and protect her family. 20 21

Di Tian secured her first Soul Ring, publicly posed as her Titled Douluo rescuer and teacher, and stabilized the Xiao Family against its enemies. Xiao Xiao subsequently spent six years cultivating at the Lake of Life alongside Lu Yuan, with permission to return home for two months each year. 23 25

Appearance

Xiao Xiao is petite and delicate, with a cute, youthful appearance. During her Mingdu Soul Duel Arena matches, she wore a plain green dress and fought with a cauldron larger than herself. 40

• Often described as cute, cheerful, and harmless-looking despite her overwhelming combat strength. 36 40
• Carries and controls the massive Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron. 36
• Her arena alias, Abyssal Bard, contrasts with her cauldron-based fighting style. 38 40

Personality

Xiao Xiao is initially obedient, gentle, and easily frightened by the brutality surrounding her. Even while terrified during the assassination attempt, she keeps running because she understands that Xiao Yun is sacrificing herself to save her. 18 19

Her grief over Xiao Yun gives her a strong desire to protect her family and seek revenge against those responsible. Although initially uneasy about cooperating with soul beasts, she accepts the Avengers Alliance after deciding that their support gives her the best chance to defend the Xiao Family and avenge Xiao Yun. 20 21

After years in Star Dou Forest, Xiao Xiao becomes disciplined, capable, and strongly sympathetic toward soul beasts. She readily supports Gu Qiu'er when they encounter Evil Soul Masters torturing captured Soul Beasts. 25 32 Outside combat, she is affectionate and playful, frequently enjoying Lu Yuan and Gu Qiu'er's arguments or helping ease tension between companions. 32 36

Abilities & Skills

Twin Martial Souls

Xiao Xiao possesses the Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron and the Nine-Phoenix Ceremonial Flute, along with Innate Full Soul Power. Di Tian identifies the combination as suited to offense, support, and spiritual control. 20 21
